>>200160054The real hero. And don´t pay attention to those stories that he sided 1 with the moors....He did after the king betrayed him so he out of rage showed him that he could also be a good soldier with the moors. After showing it the king regreted it and allowed him to continue destroying the moors.And at least in the film they did not use a gypsy to represent him like they did with Hernan Cortes (Jaenada is a gypsy).
>>200160054Give me a rundown on who's El Cid.
>>200160054tenemos una estatua de el, en caballito, capital federal
>>200160054overall he was a master warmonger and strategist, better than napoleon and at the same as genghis khan
>>200160054El Cid was the realest nigga in Iberia He has the equivalent of corridors written about him
>>200160552Mount and blade main character irl during the crusades.
>>200160698Tone it down a little, he was not Alexander.
>>200160521el cid never fought for the moors, he fought for the andalusian rulers of zaragoza only, if anything he actually fought against the almoravids
>>200160957oh man...
>>200160855no conozco TANTO de su historia o en general de los que mencionamos, pero por lo poco que se, me es bastante impresionante

>>200160054He was a real man but some of his feats were so ridiculous no wonder people thought it could be mythology. Undefeated in every battle that he always fought while always being outnumbered, absolute chad known for leading from the front and always outsmarting the enemies and taking the initiative with unexpected cavalry charges that crushed entire armies 10 times its size, he was always surrounded by his loyalists whom he lead meritocratically. He was always loyal to his king even when banished, very honorable, a true knight. The only fiction character that somewhat resembles him is Griffith and his Band of the Hawk, kinda cringe to say though. Saved Spain from the Almoravid Empire at their peak in the Battle of Bairén among others. There are a few good videos in youtube about his life and feats, mostly in English.
>>200160521>And don´t pay attention to those stories that he sided 1 with the moors....He did after the king betrayed him so he out of rage showed him that he could also be a good soldier with the moors.So he did side with the moors
>>200160698>Better than NapoleonIf El Cid was better than Napoleon the Islamic states would have all been destroyed by him. Napoleon had far more times to prove himself and won some of the most impressive military victories in human history. El Cid was not Hannibal, or Caesar, or Alexander. He was a highly skilled commander, but he was not the greatest of all time.
